I have a nice little yard around my house. It's nothing huge, but it's big enough for tossing the frisbee or duck-duck-goose or whatever. We've gotten quite a bit of rain lately, and my grass has gotten pretty shaggy. I've never owned a lawn mower before, so I bought one today.
Unfortunately, it didn't come assembled. I gathered my tools and pulled out all the pieces, making sure to read the instructions as I went along. See, I'm not one of those guys that think instructions are mere suggestions. I follow them word-for-word, which somehow didn't stop me from putting the handle on the front end.
After only two hours of turning wrenches, looking for missing bolts, and stray curse words, I had a bona fide lawn mower. I was all excited to give it a spin, but during the assembly process, it started raining. I guess her inaugural run will have to wait until tomorrow.
